Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Hobbiesville at fortnightly against Gamefound's every 3 months. Hobbiesville also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 32%). Gamefound's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Gamefound holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 86 and 264 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Hobbiesville's written reviews are positive against 32% of Gamefound's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hobbiesville ships an update fortnightly, Gamefound every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
